Britain's intelligence service, GCHQ, is recruiting. But it wants its newest spies to be tech-savvy, so it's inviting home-grown hackers to crack a puzzle on its new website in order to apply for a job.

The UK's Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) works closely with MI5 and MI6, and usually recruits its spies straight outta college. But to keep up with the times, it's looking to take on self-taught hackers as well. They claim to be after online specialists with a keen interest in "ethical hacking".
